I have no photographic evidence, but trust me when I say that seeing my car's odometer read 111,111 miles, it was a cool moment for me.

Absolutely insane that this would jump up by $10 over the last time that I bought them. How much RAM does this even have?? :small_angry_armless_italian:

The #LMP3 class in #LMU isn't the most popular, nor the easiest thing to drive, but given that I was racing at peak hours for the game, a win in split 4 (and with the pace for it) feels good man. #SimRacing #LeMansUltimate
